Flux, Flex, and Other

I’m diabetic — have been for 32 of my 33+ years. A lot of promising work has been done over my lifetime to get us, hopefully, closer to the cure that has always been “just 5 years away”

Still waiting, folks…

I wear a Medtronic-Minimed insulin pump that makes my life a lot easier, but man the things are clunky looking and non-user friendly in the days of iPod and cell phones that can launch rockets.

Shelby sent me this blog entry — a woman’s open letter to Steve Jobs (”his Steveness”) of Apple, asking for his design team (the ones behind the iPod) to get into the mix and help medical quipment companies better design their products for their users.

There’s a nice link in the comments section to Digg a TechCrunch article that got written about the letter, which it looks like people are doing. If you like, go Digg it too.
